90. If a New Year's Resolution is taking your
fancy, is bubbling back-of-brain then switch
gear and think seriously about what you can
drop, what you can not do. You need space
and you need time to transform; those latter
two are the Number One New year's
Resolution.
Start there and get what you want without
tears.

95. Choose a Theme for your Year
this year is about ‘service or flow or
frictionless’
Ask yourself: Why? What is the one
word you want to use to describe your
next year? A good place to start is with
your traditional resolutions. Then ask
yourself why. Want to lose weight?
Look at the reasons why. Do you want
to be healthier? Do you want to have
more confidence? If so, instead of
dieting, ‘health’ or ‘confidence’ may be
good themes.
96. Step 1: Identify 4 or 5 Main Life
Categories
Every person is different with
different priorities and situations

Step 3: Create a Time Block Weekly
Schedule
Step 4: Use a Good Planner (passion
Planner?)
With a goal-focused plan, you can
operate in a goal-focused week
with goal-focused days.
98. You have all heard the legendary quote, “Begin with
the end in mind.” This is a half-truth, and actually
dangerous thinking.
EXAMPLE - Goal: I want a new car by the end of 2016.
OK, so what? A better understanding and engine
starter would be to elaborate and say, I want to take
more weekend drives in the mountains. To do that, I’ll
need a new car. I’m looking to buy a Toyota TJ by
September of 2016.
(visualize the WHY)
99. Begin with understanding what got you to this point,
and what you’re seeking to accomplish AFTER the
first part of the goal is met. THEN, make a plan with
the “OUTCOME defined” – not the end in mind.
(Don’t set negative goals. It has to be stated
positively.)

107. Is the universe infinite?
If it's not, the first question a smart person will ask is, "so what happens at
the edge?"
That's how we define things... by the moments where they begin and end,
by their edges.
This clearly applies not just to the universe, but to every project and
concept and institution in our lives.
What does your organization not do?
When does this promotion/product/service end?
What's it like to start? To end it?
Defining the edges of performance and the promises you make defines
who you are and what you do.
We live in the middle but we understand at the edges.
108. “Life is not linear. Be
mindful of your
goals and dance
along the Way!”
